I must say these guys are very gracious towards LSU. John Smoltz is the man! Great color man!

Even though it's a "home team" broadcast, they've been about as unbiased as I've seen recently....Very nice.

Agreed, I only have one complaint... Could they at least get the names right? Missed Raph and Mahtook so far

I was listening to Hawthorne for the first three innings. these guys are a breath of fresh air compared to him.

I dont agree...they arent even commentating on the game going on most of the time. I wish Smoltz would shut the hell up.

It's been all about Georgia. But that doesn't bother me like it does to some here.

I am a huge Braves homer but I believe Smoltz is one of the best on TV.

Good point. Feels like a playoff game.

I agree but it would nice to hear something other than Ruff Rhymes.

Gotta be better than that!

I came to start a topic on Smoltz' commentary, but apparently I'm too late!

It's great having someone with his personal experience being able to comment on just about everything that has been happening, I especially like his breakdown of the pitchers.

LSU needs to reach out to their past MLB alumni and get someone!

ETA: Not sure of Theriot's on-camera skills, but he'd seem like the obvious choice when he retires.

Yet another 'Ruff' Rhymes by the announcer. Good bunt at least.

That's not what a color guy is for. Smoltz has been amazing compared to what we get at home.

Agree though that the play by play is lacking.

I can understand mispronouncing Mahtook, but Rough Rhymes?
